HE machine

Livi 🦊

Just got an he machine and my routine isn’t working like it did for my standard. I have the ability to set a prewash cycle with detergent. I’ve been doing 15ish diapers at prewash line 1 and then main wash line 3. Warm water (because our hot setting is scalding & way too hot). Extra rinse at end. I use tide original powder. Have soft water. Any advice?

I would suspect that there aren’t enough diapers in the wash. The washer needs to be 2/3 to 3/4 for proper agitation.

I think the rule of thumb for bulking is nothing bigger than a receiving blanket. Good luck!

Small hand towels and such. We go through a lot as we don’t use paper towels!

Are you apart of fluff love and CD science on fb? If not, you should join. The prewash setting and an extra rinse are both not recommended. They also have a website fluffloveuniversity.com where there is a washing machine index that tells you what settings you should use for both the prewash and main wash.

I personally love fluff love and don't trust anyone else's advice as I've heard too many mommas have serious issues later on. We've been following their routine for 2+years now and never had an issue. Sorry to hear something didn't work for you!

The Fluff Love wash routine destroyed my diapers too. I found All About Cloth Diapers Chat & they saves me from giving up cloth. The are so helpful & work with you to solve the problem not demand you do things their way.

I guess I’ll just send them another email and wait.
